Sorry guys, the other one was just wrong.  I was watching the DVD, which
told me about the capo.  Also, the other version doesn't even have the minor 4??

I also made up a name for a chord because I don't know what it's actually called.

                        Aluminum by Barenaked Ladies

(capo on fret 2)
(D minamalist = no middle or pointer finger)
    
D    D minamalist  G  Gm            D   D minamalist G  Gm
How, in every visible way you shine, as if the stars in your wake align

D    D minamalist  G  Gm  C/F
Almost impossible to malign

D    D minamalist  G  Gm            D   D minamalist G  Gm
 But just below where you shine you burn, although I know it I never learn

D    D minamalist  G  Gm  C/F
Just goes to show that I can't discern

CHORUS:

F   G  D        F     G      D              F         G      D  
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

            F    G    D
But you're just Aluminum



Illuminating just what you want to show, You'd never rust but I'd never know


You can't be trusted, I can't let go



Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want


But you're just Aluminum


      F           G     D     C/F         F                G        D
Every time you're here I forget, When you leave, you leave only regret,

      C/F         F       G      F G    D
Every time you're here, I forget E-very-thing



You're so lightweight, how can you survive? Recycling moments from others' 


lives, You're not as precious as you contrive



Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want


But you're just Aluminum. Yeah you're just aluminum
